Espectador vs ejecutante: indicios de un teatro relacional según Aragón Pividal

Abstract

The present work is an analysis on the construction and operation of the perfomance device Espectador Vs Ejecutante: Indicios de un Teatro Relacional, according to the proposal of Agustina Aragón Pividalin in her book called La renovación de la escena tras el relevo del paradigma narrativo por el nuevo teatro posdramático: teatro discursivo, teatro asociativo y teatro relacional (2014). The objective of this research is to look at the new relationship between the theatrical product and the public, in which the spectator becomes a co-subject creator of the work, through its action in the performative event. All this is due to a change in the convention of the traditional theatrical scene, towards a new space in which the boundaries between the audience and the art work are crossed. For the study of theatricality and the change of convention in the fiction between the public we use Oscar Cornago´s work in ¿Qué es la teatralidad? Paradigmas estéticos de la Modernidad (2005). And for the spatial construction of the device where the rectangle is taken as the format, we apply Ramón Griffero´s study in La Dramaturgia del Espacio (2011). All these referents, combined with the performance practice as such, seek the construction of a device, which serves as an instrument capable of producing an event of a theatrical and relational nature, which is maintained in a constant process of development of both behaviors and relationships between the participants and the performer.
